January 8, 2009

I finally finished "fixing up" the pictures from our stroll down the beaches of Cape Cod. It was a very cold, wintery day, I think my family thought I was half nuts, for wanting to go, but they appeased me!!

The wind was so wild that Sarah never left the comforts of Daddy's arms. Nick on the other hand was loving life as he ran up and down the beach with Rudy.

The day was very overcast and hazy, so the pictures are not the brightest or most colorful, but I think they really depict the kind of day that it was.

Snuggling in close to Daddy, so he could shield her from the wind. I love how her little face is just peeking out of her hood!!

Nick in search of some snow

Sarah and Pat checking out all the sea gulls looking for food in the water.

Nick with a snowball in hand getting ready to throw, with Rudy by his side. Guess who he was aiming at??? Yes, Me....the annoying Mom with camera in hand!!

Where else would you find lobster traps decorated for Christmas....I thought it looked so cute!

Look at this house....this was taken from the beach...it was located on the other side of the inlet....it was gorgeous!! This shot doesn't even do it justice......how I would love to spend a summer in that house.......

To me Cape Cod is such a beautiful place.....there is something about it...the incredible views, the ocean air, the people, the food.......it is just a different way of life.....and something about it seems so appealing. Maybe because it is so opposite of where we live......one day I hope that we have a place to call home there.....or at least, "summer home"......It is a dream that both Pat and I have.

I am so glad that we made the trip over the holidays. We really enjoyed the time we had with our family and we can't wait to go back. Hopefully we will be heading up for Easter.....at least all the snow should be gone by then!!

Your photos are lovely!! I think overcast or cloudy days are perfect for picture-taking!! Sarah looks so cute with Pat and Nick -- wow -- so grown up. Hope he didn't hit you with that snowball! So glad you were able to spend time there over the holidays! You get that house some summer and the Nebraska bloggers will be there!! :)Janet

Love those pics my friend! And your new blog look is fabulous! Made me cold just looking at it! ha! What a great trip...snow at the beach. I just can't even imagine! Hey I noticed that Red Sox hat on Nick...my cousin played for them the last two years. He got traded to the Pirates at the end of this season...we were all very sad. The Sox are way cooler if you ask me...but then again...it is PA! Maybe ya'll could go to a Pirates game! ha!

What an adorable picture of Sarah and Pat, all snuggled to stay warm while Mommy drags them to the freezing beach. (just kidding!) And yes, that home is pretty darn spectacular, but I'm guessing I would lose my kids in there.

BTW, your blogover looks great! I hope you've been able to check a lot off your workload this week. Only 1 more day until weekend!!

I love your new blog, and your photos are fantastic! How are they so big? I have mine set to "large" when uploading, but they are not as large as yours! Fantastic!

I feel the same way about traveling to the coast of NC...we go to several different beaches in the summer. I always say that if I win the lottery, the VERY FIRST thing that I will buy is my beach house!!!

Sounds like a wonderful trip with pictures to match. I love the lobster trap with the red bow too! If you're dreaming of having a house there someday, it will happen! It's all in positive thinking! Have a great weekend!

We live 2 blocks from the lake and I have to say I don't think I've ever walked the beach in the winter. You've made me think maybe we should try that one of these days!! I hate being cold though, I'm not as brave as you are! I would be like Sarah, tucked inside my coat!

Like everyone else here I just love your pictures and your blog. I need to tell my hubby to take me to Cape Cod asap, lol!! It looks so beautiful and so peaceful. I bet you had a great time. What a wonderful way to spend the holidays :)

Oh my Lisa~ what great photos that really captured your winter beach time! Looks like Nick had lots of fun running about and Miss Sarah was all snuggly warm, too, and lookin' as cute as ever!And the dream house across the inlet~ amazing! xo, Les

It looks sooo cold but beautiful. I can totally see why you are drawn to Cape Cod. I love the decorated lobster trap. Looks like you guys had a great time. Wouldn't you love to see the inside of that house?

Hi Lisa~ I just posted the answer to your question. Thank you for sending it to me. I am so excited about posting decor ideas but afraid that my excitement and passion will burn out or I will run out of ideas.

Wonderful photos ~ The one of your husband holding Sarah with her face peeking out is adorable! Love the lobster trap ~ we have a few decorated around in Mystic. Cape Cod is beautiful any time of the year. We try to stay away when tourist season is in full swing and enjoy it during the down times.
